WARREN HARRIS BRIGHT, OF WELLSTON, OHIO.

HEATING SYSTEM.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WARREN HARRIS BRIGHT, a citi zen of the United States. residing at Wellston, in the county oi' .I ackson and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Heating System. of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to heating systems and particularly to an improved form of hot water receptacle and heater.

The object o the invention is to economize on fuel f and heat.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides iin the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes i-n the precise embodiment of invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope ofthe following claims without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacriiicing any hf its advantages,

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification-the figure is a vertical central section through a device constructed in accordance with the invention. 'l

Like reference numerals indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.

The reference letter A indicates a hot water receptacle or reservoir; the letter B indicates a heater, which may be of any suitable form and construction; and C, a gas jetor oth er suitable source of heat.

Extending through the upper end l of the receptacle A is an inlet pipe 2 for cold water. The inlet pipe 2 extends down through the interior oi' the receptacle A'and the lower end 3 thereof terminates a short distance above the bottom 4 of the receptacle which, in theembodiment of invention illustrated, is concaved as shown, although it is to be understood that any other style oi receptacle 0r boiler A can be employed.

Threaded through an opening in the bottom 4 oi the receptacle A is a pipe 5 leading from the heater B, both ends of which pipe are open. pipe 5 is screwed a pipe 6 reaching to the top othe receptacle A for conveying thereto Water from the heater B. The lower end of the pipe extends through the heater from its top nearly to its bottom for the discharge of cold Water thereinto. A central longitudinal partition 7 extends'across the pipe 5v from near the upper end to near the lower end, dividing the mid-portion of the pipe into two channels 8 and 9, the channel 8 being closed at its upper end by a wall l() extending from the partition 7 to one side o the pipe, while the channel 9 is closed at its lower ehd by a similar wall ll. An inlet passage l2 is made in the side of the divided pipe 5 just Specification of Letters Patent.

Application tiled September 14,1306. Serial No. 334.653.

Into the upper end of the VPatented Aug. 13, 1907.

A similar passage 13 is formed in the pipe 5 above the wall 1l and near the top oi the heater lor the exit of hot water from said heater into the channel i) and thence through the upper end of said pipe 5 and the pipe (S to the top of the receptacle. from whence it can be drawn ofi in the usual manner.

The peculiar advantage of the present invention, by 'which it effects an economy oi incl and heat. is that after the receptacle A has been viilled with water from the inlet pipe 2, and the burner C has been started, the cold water emerging from the lower end of the pipe2 passes through the passage 8 into the heater B from which it is conducted directly by the pipe 6 to the up perportion ofthe receptacle A without being permitted to mix with the water of lower temperature in the lower end o the receptacle A. It will be understood that as the hot water constantly passes up through the pipe G in the center of the receptacle A, it will serv'e gradually to' raise the temperature of the body o water in the receptacle A above the lower end of the inlet pipe .2. This gradual raising of the temperature of the water in the upper end of the receptacle A causesit to remain in its raised position so that the cold water entering through the inlet pipe 2 does not rise into the upper end oi the receptacle A but continues directly to the passage 8 and immediately heated and carried off. By employing a receptacle A having a concaved bottom, any heat which passes around theheater B will impinge against the lower end of the receptacle A and will serve to heat the same.

It will be understood that the improvements of the present invention can be used in connection with boilers and heaters ot' many different forms.

The construction described constitutes an extremely strong, simple, durable, inexpensive and thoroughly efiicient heating arrangement.

W hat is claimed isc- 1. In a hot water heater, the combination of a water receptacle, a heater and a single pipe directly connecting said pants, said pipe having a central partition dividing its midportion only into two channels closed at opposite ends and also havlng a passage leading into each of said channels. from the side of said pipe near the closed end of the channel. l

2. In a hot water heater the combination of a water receptacle, a heater' below the same, and a pipe directly connecting said parts, said pipe havingr a centi-:1l longitudinal partition, connected at each end by a wall to the side of the tube to form two channels euch of which channels is closed at one end and opens at the other end into the adjacent end of the tube, passages heim.; formed Vin opposite sides of the tube into the closed ends of thechannels.

ln testimony that. i claim the foregoing as my own, i have hereto aiiixed my signature in the prt-sence of two witnesses.
